Chapter 109 A rare opportunity
Xia Mo didn't expect that even though he was in such a bad state, the other party was still willing to talk to him in detail. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
In this case, should he put aside his prejudice and talk to him? In essence, he certainly wanted to make money, but he still had some concerns in his heart.
So he was so conflicted that he couldn't make a decision, so he turned his head to look at Ling Chuan, wanting to see what the other party meant. But as soon as he turned his head, he met the man's deep eyes.
When their eyes met, Ling Chuan saw the hesitation in the young man's eyes at a glance. He understood that the young man was so conflicted because of him.
Just as the young man said before, it is indeed useful to discuss things in advance, so at this moment, Ling Chuan's unpleasant feeling of being ridiculed disappeared, and what followed was the joy of being cared for and valued.
So the corners of his eyes curved slightly, his serious expression relaxed, and he nodded slightly to the young man who was looking at him with his round eyes. He said that he was just selling a recipe, there was no need to care so much, as long as he was happy.
Seeing the man smile without warning and letting him continue talking to the other party, Xia Mo was stunned for a moment, but he soon smiled too.
Then he turned to Qin Ji and said, "Since Shopkeeper Qin is interested, let's have a good talk." Yes, it doesn't matter whose money you make. For a rare opportunity like this, you should make a lot of money from the other party, hehe.
Xia Mo's mind instantly became active when he thought about it, so he looked at Qin Ji with a frighteningly bright look in his eyes, "How about this? Shopkeeper Qin, can you first tell me the dishes you are interested in, or the ingredients of the dishes? Then I will tell you the recipes based on your requirements. Of course, I can also recommend some to you."
His attitude changed so quickly that Qin Ji's eyebrows suddenly jumped when he met his gaze.
For some reason, he felt that this smiling, harmless young man in front of him was a little scary? Uh, was it an illusion?
"Of course, Ze'er, you have a good idea. Aji, please think about what your requirements are." Seeing that Qin Ji was silent, Li Jingran spoke first.
As soon as he finished speaking, the smile in Xia Mo's eyes became even more intense. He looked at Ling Chuan again, and they said tacitly that it seemed that they really wanted to buy their recipes.
It is undeniable that at this time they seemed to have caught each other's tail, and both of them understood each other's intentions and had their own calculations in mind.
For example, Ling Chuan had a dark gleam in his eyes. Although he disliked Li Jingran, the bastard who barked at him, it was undeniable that the other party had a decent character. Otherwise, he would have been beaten to a pulp by him for his repeated provocations.
However, this person suddenly paid too much attention to his little brother, probably just because he was angry. As for the deeper meaning behind it, he didn't dare to make any conclusions for the time being.
At the moment, it seems that the hostility towards him is not directed at the young man. Maybe it is because the young man and Liu Qiuwu are very similar, or maybe it is something else, but it doesn’t matter. He just needs to pay more attention to these.
Because he believed that as long as the other party had any intentions towards his little brother, the fox tail would be exposed one day. No matter who it was, if they wanted to touch a hair of his little brother, they had to go past him first!
Looking at Xia Mo, who was suddenly smiling with sparkling eyes, and his cousin who suddenly lost his mind and revealed his intentions for no reason, Qin Ji, with his mouth slightly open, felt that the subtle feeling became even stronger.
As a qualified profiteer, he was sure that he had just smelled the scent of his own kind from the harmless little husband.
So he laughed dryly, "No problem, then I'll tell you about it. In fact, Tianranju does collect food from all over the world, but it mainly focuses on authentic Beijing cuisine, so it lacks other specialties."
Xia Mo nodded, "So, Shopkeeper Qin wants recipes for special dishes from other regions?"
“Yes, Beijing flavor is fragrant and sweet, and delicious, which is Tianranju’s first-class signature, but it is far from enough.”
Qin Ji pondered for a moment, then glanced at Xia Mo and said seriously, "To be honest, Tianranju has been under pressure from other restaurants recently. They have made a lot of dishes that are similar to ours. Although the taste is a little different, it has a great impact on us, so I think imitating them is a good idea."
"Yes, it is feasible." Xia Mo smiled and replied. This is also a case of giving someone a taste of their own medicine. You took my signboard, so I will give you a taste of your own medicine. So he asked, "So, does Shopkeeper Qin want to get the recipe for spicy stew or something like that?"
"That's right, so I'd like to trouble you to recommend one." Qin Ji said with a smile.
"No, no, in that case, let me tell you the name of the dish, the main ingredients, and its taste. Then after Manager Qin has made his selection, I will make them, and you can try them and see what you think of them?" Xia Mo replied. He had never done business in this field, so he asked the other party for his opinion according to his own ideas.
When it comes to spicy or hot food, his first reaction is hot pot, but it is still hot in the sun, so let's wait until the next season.
So he began to search his memory and slowly described some of the more famous modern dishes, while the other three listened carefully.
During the journey, when Qin Ji and Li Jingran encountered questions or had other ideas, they would occasionally ask, but Ling Chuan was the only one who remained silent from beginning to end.
He silently looked at the young man who was talking incessantly and gracefully, his deep pupils glowing with an ambiguous light.
Time passed quietly in Xia Mo's voice, and in a blink of an eye they had been chatting for a long time, and Qin Ji had also selected recipes for eleven dishes.
That’s right, not ten but eleven. The main reason was that everything Xia Mo said was very good and they all wanted to try it right now, but it was obviously not possible now.
One reason is that we were pressed for time and the ingredients in the kitchen were incomplete.
Secondly, Tianranju also has to do business. If he goes into the kitchen now, it will not only affect the other party, but also leak the recipe.
Thirdly, Xia Mo still wanted to go to Manager Hong to find out the situation first. Maybe there might be other circumstances, so there was no need to rush.
Therefore, Qin Ji suggested that he buy the raw materials and ask Xia Mo to come again tomorrow.
Xia Mo looked at Ling Chuan. Ling Chuan had no objection, so they decided to cook samples later.
"In that case, we'll take our leave first." Xia Mo and Ling Chuan stood up.
"Goodbye." Qin Ji also stood up and said with a smile.
So Xia Mo and Ling Chuan left one after another, but when Ling Chuan reached the threshold, he suddenly stopped, turned around and glanced at them indifferently.
Qin Ji, who happened to see this, said: "..."
It was not until the two of them completely disappeared outside the door that Qin Ji retracted his gaze and turned to Li Jingran, who was sitting with his legs crossed and looking a little lazy, and complained helplessly: "Cousin, I don't mean to say anything to you, but do you know how big a mistake you made just now?"
Li Jingran paused in his motion of drinking tea. He raised his eyelids, glanced at Qin Ji with a faint smile in his eyes, and said, "I don't know."
It was obvious that he was in a very good mood. Qin Ji's mouth twitched when he saw this, and he had the urge to hold his forehead.
It seemed that his cousin had been blinded by his resentment towards someone and ignored the seriousness of the matter.
